FAQs for Kingston upon Hull
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
