FAQs for Drinkstone Green
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Drinkstone Green.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Drinkstone Green
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
