Bath Re-enamelling in Pratt's Bottom
Problem with your bath in Pratt's Bottom? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pratt's Bottom
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We are frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, on acrylic baths, cast iron 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.

What else we do in Pratt's Bottom
What your bath is made of matters
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.
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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Pratt's Bottom. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BR6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice

- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pratt's Bottom
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
