- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Laughton: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Laughton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Laughton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we’re called out for in Laughton
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
