What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Meadfoot
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Meadfoot
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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 to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we are called out for in Meadfoot
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Meadfoot contact us are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
