Bath re-enamelling in Southam without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Southam
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Southam
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Southam

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Southam: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
