Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Plastow Green without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
What we are called out for in Plastow Green
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Plastow Green: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plastow Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
