About our bath re-enamelling in Great Edstone
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common problems we fix in Great Edstone
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Great Edstone
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Great Edstone questions
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?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Great Edstone?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Edstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
