Bath re-enamelling in Saxtead Bottom, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

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’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What affects the price in Saxtead Bottom
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Saxtead Bottom. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid 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 and makes resurfacing more work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Saxtead Bottom?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
