Bath Re-enamelling for Tunstead homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for householders, landlords and businesses in Tunstead. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Tunstead, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tunstead
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Common problems we fix in Tunstead
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Tunstead and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
