The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Bath re-enamelling in St Stephens, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Questions from St Stephens
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
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.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 quote the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
