- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Bath re-enamelling in Basford without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What affects the price in Basford
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Basford
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full 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 protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

When to call us in Basford
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
