How we handle bath re-enamelling in Putnoe
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Putnoe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Putnoe
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens after I send pictures?

Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Repairing versus replacing in Putnoe

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
