Bath Re-enamelling in Matfield
We travel to Matfield for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Matfield
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Matfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Matfield questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Matfield?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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.
What else we do in Matfield
Landlord and trade work in Matfield
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
