About our bath re-enamelling in Jersey Farm
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Jersey Farm
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Jersey Farm. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Advice
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common questions in Jersey Farm
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Jersey Farm, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
