Bath re-enamelling in Upper Godney, 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 day after. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Upper Godney
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
