Bath re-enamelling at your home in Totternhoe
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
Advice
What affects the price in Totternhoe
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Totternhoe
- Pressed steel baths

What we are called out for in Totternhoe
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for any of the following:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What else we do in Totternhoe
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. 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.
