Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Duckett's Green
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Duckett's Green
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Duckett's Green
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Duckett's Green.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
