How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Littledown
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Littledown
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
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.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Littledown?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Littledown
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
