Bath re-enamelling in Ingrave, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What affects the price in Ingrave
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Ingrave
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Ingrave is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM13 postcode.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ingrave?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
