About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Layham
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upper Layham
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Upper Layham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Upper Layham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Upper Layham
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Upper Layham. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath generally 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. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
