For landlords and businesses
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 regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Copley
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Copley as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Copley: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Copley?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When to call us in Copley
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
