How we handle bath re-enamelling in Racecourse
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Racecourse
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Racecourse
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Racecourse. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Racecourse questions
