About our bath re-enamelling in Sandford-on-Thames
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When to call us in Sandford-on-Thames
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:

- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Landlord and trade work in Sandford-on-Thames
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Sandford-on-Thames
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
