Quotes from your photos

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in King's Caple
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we’re called out for in King's Caple

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in King's Caple
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Herefordshire.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Are there extra charges for King's Caple?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. 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, with the outside refinished as well.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
