Bath re-enamelling in Playford, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Playford
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Playford
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 check it carefully.
When to call us in Playford
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Before booking anyone

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Playford?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
