Landlord and trade work in Ingestre
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ingestre
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Ingestre
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ingestre. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Ingestre and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ingestre
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
