I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What we are called out for in Hockley
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour-matched on site
Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: 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 price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
