About our bath re-enamelling in Finmere
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Finmere
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace in Finmere?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Finmere, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Finmere questions
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Buckinghamshire.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Finmere, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
