About our bath re-enamelling in Mappowder
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mappowder as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Mappowder
Do you come to Mappowder?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Mappowder. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mappowder
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mappowder use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mappowder
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Common reasons people in Mappowder contact us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Mappowder
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
