Bath re-enamelling in Lye Green, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

Landlord and trade work in Lye Green
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Lye Green
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 usually the cheaper route.
