About our bath re-enamelling in West Bridgford
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

West Bridgford: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for West Bridgford?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Bridgford?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
