For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
About our bath re-enamelling in Knave's Ash
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

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
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
FAQs for Knave's Ash
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
