DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Caythorpe, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Caythorpe as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Questions from Caythorpe
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Caythorpe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Caythorpe. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Caythorpe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caythorpe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
