Bath re-enamelling at your home in Great Bealings
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Great Bealings questions
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What affects the price in Great Bealings
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Great Bealings 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 do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
If you’re in Great Bealings and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
When to call us in Great Bealings

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Wear marks under the taps
