About our bath re-enamelling in Honington
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Honington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we’re called out for in Honington
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Honington
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honington questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Honington?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
