Bath re-enamelling in North Evington without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to North Evington. The price depends on:

- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- A clear, close picture of the problem area

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in North Evington
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairing versus replacing in North Evington
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
