Every job is backed for twelve months in Eddington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Eddington
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we are called out for in Eddington
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common questions in Eddington
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
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.
Do you cover Eddington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Eddington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
