About our bath re-enamelling in Backlands
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Backlands. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Backlands
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backlands use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
If you’re in Backlands and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Backlands
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
