What affects the price in Fishtoft Drove
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Fishtoft Drove
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Fishtoft Drove?
We do. We send a technician to Fishtoft Drove for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
When to call us in Fishtoft Drove
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Fishtoft Drove contact us are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
