Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Bath re-enamelling in Balephuil, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Balephuil: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When to call us in Balephuil
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Balephuil
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
