About our bath re-enamelling in Forest Hill
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Forest Hill
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Forest Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Forest Hill and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
