Bath re-enamelling in Silchester without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Silchester
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repair or replace in Silchester?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Silchester
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
