Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Little Blakenham without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Blakenham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Little Blakenham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
