How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Abbotswood without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Repair or replace in Abbotswood?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Stains that will not shift

Abbotswood: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you work in Abbotswood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Abbotswood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
