Bath re-enamelling in Great Limber, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Great Limber
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Limber use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Great Limber
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover Great Limber?
We do. We send a technician to Great Limber for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
What we’re called out for in Great Limber
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
