Bath re-enamelling at your home in Street Lane
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Questions from Street Lane
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 generally cheaper.
