FAQs for Upper Lambourn
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
