- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ottershaw
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Ottershaw
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Ottershaw
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Ottershaw

When to call us in Ottershaw
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
