What we’re called out for in Bridge End
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bridge End
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bridge End?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DL13 postcode.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
