Bath re-enamelling at your home in Snowdown
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white.

FAQs for Snowdown
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from photos?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
