Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
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.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Belah use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
Other services in Belah
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Most customers in Belah get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
