What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling in Ellistown without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in Ellistown
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE67 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Ellistown: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Ellistown
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.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ellistown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
