DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off 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.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace in Bilton in Ainsty?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Bilton in Ainsty: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Bilton in Ainsty
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
