How we handle bath re-enamelling in Forty Green
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Forty Green
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Forty Green questions
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Forty Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Forty Green and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Forty Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlord and trade work in Forty Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
