What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

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. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Coalhill?
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common questions in Coalhill
Do you work in Coalhill?
We do. We send a technician to Coalhill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coalhill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
