Related advice
Bath re-enamelling in Fields End, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fields End
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fields End use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Fields End
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Fields End. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fields End
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
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 our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
