Bath Re-enamelling for Stratfield Saye homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Stratfield Saye and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Stratfield Saye without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

- How many items we do on one visit

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stratfield Saye, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare

What we are called out for in Stratfield Saye
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
Stratfield Saye: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after 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.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
