Bath Re-enamelling in Spinney Hill
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Spinney Hill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling in Spinney Hill, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Spinney Hill
Do you work in Spinney Hill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Spinney Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Spinney Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
