About our bath re-enamelling in Inkpen Common
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Inkpen Common?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Inkpen Common. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
