Questions from Holbrook
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DE56 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Holbrook
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Holbrook and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace in Holbrook?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When to call us in Holbrook
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Holbrook
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE56 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Landlord and trade work in Holbrook
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Holbrook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
