Bath Re-enamelling for Potter's Forstal homes
Our repair technicians come to Potter's Forstal for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Potter's Forstal
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Potter's Forstal use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Potter's Forstal questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

What else we do in Potter's Forstal
When to call us in Potter's Forstal
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Potter's Forstal. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Potter's Forstal clients choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
