Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
About our bath re-enamelling in Streatley
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What affects the price in Streatley
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Streatley?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Streatley questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
