Bath re-enamelling in Over without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Over get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Over use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Common questions in Over
Are there extra charges for Over?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- 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 before booking.
