- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

About our bath re-enamelling in Mill Common
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Mill Common
For anyone letting property in or around Mill Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mill Common as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 won’t last.
What affects the price in Mill Common
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Mill Common. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
FAQs for Mill Common
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Mill Common?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP19 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
