Honest limits

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Colt's Hill

Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Colt's Hill. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Colt's Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
