About our bath re-enamelling in West Tolgus
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in West Tolgus
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in West Tolgus?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Landlord and trade work in West Tolgus
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Tolgus as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, 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 natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in West Tolgus
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise 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.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
