DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Calow
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you need to take the bath out?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairing versus replacing in Calow
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
