Bath Re-enamelling for Tickham homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Tickham: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tickham
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Tickham. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What else we do in Tickham
Landlord and trade work in Tickham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Tickham: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace in Tickham?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
