DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Besthorpe. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Questions from Besthorpe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Common problems we fix in Besthorpe
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
