Bath re-enamelling at your home in Plumtree
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

Landlord and trade work in Plumtree
If you manage property in Plumtree, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Plumtree questions
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Plumtree is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
