How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Ansty
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
FAQs for Little Ansty
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Little Ansty. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Little Ansty
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
