Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
About our bath re-enamelling in Little Bourton
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Little Bourton
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repair or replace in Little Bourton?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Little Bourton?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
