Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Bath re-enamelling in Howwood, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Howwood
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
