Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sandygate
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace in Sandygate?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Sandygate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Sandygate
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Sandygate?
We do. We send a technician to Sandygate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sandygate. The price reflects:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
