Bath re-enamelling at your home in Smannell
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Smannell?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Smannell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your photos

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smannell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price

Smannell questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
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.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
