How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Englefield without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Englefield get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Englefield
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you cover Englefield?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Englefield and the rest of West Berkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
