Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling in Poundon, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Poundon questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you come to Poundon?
We do. Technicians travel to Poundon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

When to call us in Poundon
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
