- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Bath re-enamelling in Milford without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
FAQs for Milford
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Milford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
