Bath re-enamelling in Pingewood without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Advice
What affects the price in Pingewood
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
