About our bath re-enamelling in The Down
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in The Down
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Down as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When to call us in The Down
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repairing versus replacing in The Down
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
The Down: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for The Down?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
