About our bath re-enamelling in Ford Green
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What else we do in Ford Green
How we price bath re-enamelling
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
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Ford Green: your questions answered
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ford Green?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
