About our bath re-enamelling in Little Canada
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Little Canada
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Little Canada
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you cover Little Canada?
We do. We send a technician to Little Canada for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
