Bath re-enamelling at your home in Matching Green
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Matching Green
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Matching Green
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Matching Green: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Matching Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
