How we handle bath re-enamelling in Great Finborough
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Finborough as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Great Finborough
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Finborough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Common questions in Great Finborough
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Great Finborough
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before you book anyone

- How soon you can use it again

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
