Questions from Bullers Green
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bullers Green?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
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.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Also in Bullers Green
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
