Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Milton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from West Milton
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you come to West Milton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Milton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Other services in West Milton
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in West Milton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we are called out for in West Milton
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
What affects the price in West Milton
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in West Milton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
