How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sherford
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Sherford: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sherford?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Sherford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sherford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Sherford. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sherford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sherford
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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sherford
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
