Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Hatton of Fintray

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
