How we handle bath re-enamelling in Steeple Claydon
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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

Questions from Steeple Claydon
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Steeple Claydon
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in Steeple Claydon
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Steeple Claydon. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
