How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fox Street
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Fox Street
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you work in Fox Street?
We do. We send a technician to Fox Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Fox Street
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fox Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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 what we repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fox Street?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
