Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Edge End
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Edge End. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Edge End: your questions answered
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
