Honkley questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Honkley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Honkley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Honkley. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common problems we fix in Honkley
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Honkley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
