Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Great Hampden, Buckinghamshire
Bath re-enamelling in and around Great Hampden: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling in Great Hampden, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Great Hampden?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Repair or replace in Great Hampden?
Replacing a bath usually 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. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Questions from Great Hampden
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the entire of Buckinghamshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Great Hampden and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
