Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Reston
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What affects the price in South Reston
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Common problems we fix in South Reston
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
