Bath re-enamelling in Syresham, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Syresham
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
For a price in Syresham, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common problems we fix in Syresham
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlords, agents and businesses in Syresham
If you manage property in Syresham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Syresham
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Syresham. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
