Bath re-enamelling in Pakenham without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we are called out for in Pakenham
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.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Common questions in Pakenham
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you work in Pakenham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Pakenham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture 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 are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Pakenham
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Pakenham. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
