Abbotsham: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you come to Abbotsham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Abbotsham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Abbotsham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
