How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Galleywood questions
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What your bath is made of matters
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 the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Galleywood?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
