Questions from Sidford
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sidford
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Sidford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
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.
Common problems we fix in Sidford
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
