What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Common problems we fix in Cawkwell
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Cawkwell
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Cawkwell. Prices do not change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Cawkwell. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cawkwell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
