Problem with your bath in Ball o' Ditton? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ball o' Ditton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ball o' Ditton?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Ball o' Ditton questions
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
