Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath re-enamelling in Howbrook without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Howbrook questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Howbrook?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When to call us in Howbrook
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Howbrook. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Howbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
