Bath re-enamelling in Sandon, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Sandon. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sandon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Sandon clients choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Sandon
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
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 the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
