DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Clough Dene
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Clough Dene?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Clough Dene
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Common problems we fix in Clough Dene
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

What affects the price in Clough Dene
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Clough Dene. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clough Dene
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Clough Dene
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
