About our bath re-enamelling in Ifieldwood
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ifieldwood
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ifieldwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Ifieldwood, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ifieldwood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
