East Harptree questions
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so East Harptree is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to East Harptree. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
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.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in East Harptree?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
