Bath re-enamelling in Turves Green without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Turves Green. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

FAQs for Turves Green
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Turves Green.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Turves Green?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your B31 postcode.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
