Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Ellwood
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ellwood included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What affects the price in Ellwood
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Ellwood and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
