Questions from Cautley
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
About our bath re-enamelling in Cautley
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Cautley
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the entire UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What else we do in Cautley
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
