About our bath re-enamelling in Ubbeston
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Questions from Ubbeston
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Ubbeston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ubbeston
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
