About our bath re-enamelling in Pitmans Corner
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Pitmans Corner questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Advice
What we are called out for in Pitmans Corner
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
