Bath re-enamelling in Mount Bures without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mount Bures
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repairing versus replacing in Mount Bures
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour-matched on site
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Mount Bures: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Mount Bures. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Mount Bures
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
