Bath re-enamelling in Magpie Green, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlord and trade work in Magpie Green
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Magpie Green, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Magpie Green
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
