Bath re-enamelling in Sawmills without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price

What else we do in Sawmills
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sawmills
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sawmills use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Sawmills and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
