Laverton questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Laverton, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Laverton
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right 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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Laverton
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Laverton. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

Around Laverton

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
