Bath re-enamelling in Peplow without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Peplow and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Peplow, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Peplow
- Pressed steel baths

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Peplow as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Peplow: your questions answered
Do you work in Peplow?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Peplow. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Peplow included. Travel is included in the price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Peplow
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
