Bath re-enamelling in Finkley Down, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Finkley Down, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
FAQs for Finkley Down
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Finkley Down
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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 the part we put right.
