Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our bath re-enamelling in Capel
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Capel
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

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 normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common questions in Capel
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RH5 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
