For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath re-enamelling in Ellington without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What else we do in Ellington
What affects the price in Ellington
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ellington. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common questions in Ellington
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Ellington?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ellington?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
