For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cat Bank
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in Cat Bank
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cat Bank
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
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 price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Cat Bank
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
