DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
About our bath re-enamelling in Littlebury
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Littlebury: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What affects the price in Littlebury
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Littlebury. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
