Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays

Common questions in Coston

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
