Bath re-enamelling in Tong, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Tong questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are there extra charges for Tong?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Tong. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most clients in Tong get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Tong

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tong
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
