Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Combs without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Combs and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What else we do in Combs
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Combs
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
