How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Green Street without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Green Street get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Green Street
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Common problems we fix in Green Street
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift

Landlord and trade work in Green Street
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Green Street use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Green Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
