How we handle bath re-enamelling in Littleford
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Littleford
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Littleford
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common questions in Littleford
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.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
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.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
