How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tickencote
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tickencote
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Tickencote, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Tickencote questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tickencote?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
