Bath re-enamelling in Evington without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in Evington
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Evington
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
