Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Great Musgrave
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Great Musgrave
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Great Musgrave?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

For landlords and businesses

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
