How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Holbury
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Little Holbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
If you’re in Little Holbury and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Little Holbury?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Little Holbury
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Little Holbury?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
