About our bath re-enamelling in Salters Lode
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Salters Lode
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salters Lode as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Salters Lode, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- 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.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What affects the price in Salters Lode
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Salters Lode?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
