Bath Re-enamelling for Meadowfield homes
Our technicians come to Meadowfield for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
About our bath re-enamelling in Meadowfield
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Meadowfield
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we are called out for in Meadowfield
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.

How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Meadowfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
What affects the price in Meadowfield
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Meadowfield get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Meadowfield
Can I fix it myself?
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Meadowfield
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Meadowfield?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
