How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes. In a village or hamlet like Arley Green, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Arley Green, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
In a village like Arley Green, some baths have been in for many years. If the bath is sound, bath re-enamelling gives it a new lease of life.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
When to call us in Arley Green
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
For older houses around Arley Green, near landmarks such as St Mary's Chapel, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What else we do in Arley Green
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. In an older home in a village like Arley Green, replacing a bath can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
