Bath re-enamelling in Sparkwell without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Sparkwell
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Sparkwell
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Sparkwell: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sparkwell.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When to call us in Sparkwell
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
