Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

- One picture of the entire bath

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Brown Lees
Do you cover Brown Lees?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Brown Lees from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What we are called out for in Brown Lees
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Pressed steel baths
