How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Bradfield Combust
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bradfield Combust
Do you work in Bradfield Combust?
We do. We send a technician to Bradfield Combust for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Bradfield Combust is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
