How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions from Sithney Green

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you work in Sithney Green?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sithney Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
