Bath re-enamelling in Firwood Park, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Firwood Park
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Firwood Park
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

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.

Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Firwood Park
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Firwood Park as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
