We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Pipsden and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we’re called out for in Pipsden
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pipsden
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pipsden
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pipsden use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
