  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Larkfield

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Larkfield

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Are there extra charges for Larkfield?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

What affects the price in Larkfield

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Larkfield?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.
