About our bath re-enamelling in Navestock Common
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Navestock Common
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Navestock Common: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
