Questions from Drayton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Related advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Drayton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Drayton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
