Common problems we fix in Knighton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Bath re-enamelling in Knighton, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Knighton
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
