Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath re-enamelling in Abbot's Meads, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Abbot's Meads?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
