Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Trench Green, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Trench Green
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you cover the entire of Reading?
The entire UK, including all of Reading. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When to call us in Trench Green
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
