Bath re-enamelling in Arksey, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Arksey and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Arksey
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Arksey. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures 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
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Arksey get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Arksey questions
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
