How we handle bath re-enamelling in Foxash Estate
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Foxash Estate, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foxash Estate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foxash Estate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Foxash Estate: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
