How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry

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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our bath re-enamelling in Overseal
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Overseal
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Overseal?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Overseal
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
