About our bath re-enamelling in St Matthew's
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in St Matthew's
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover St Matthew's?
We do. Technicians travel to St Matthew's from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St Matthew's
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

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 needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to St Matthew's. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
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.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
