How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lower Caversham
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we are called out for in Lower Caversham
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Lower Caversham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
