About our bath re-enamelling in Ballingdon
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What else we do in Ballingdon
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ballingdon. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Ballingdon and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Ballingdon
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
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 leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Common questions in Ballingdon
