Bath re-enamelling in Michaelston-super-Ely without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Michaelston-super-Ely. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

FAQs for Michaelston-super-Ely
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Michaelston-super-Ely
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through

Repairing versus replacing in Michaelston-super-Ely

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Michaelston-super-Ely. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
