Bath re-enamelling in Friday Hill, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Landlord and trade work in Friday Hill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Friday Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Friday Hill. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Friday Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Friday Hill questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E4 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
