Bath re-enamelling in Limmo Peninsula, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Other services in Limmo Peninsula
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Limmo Peninsula
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Limmo Peninsula. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
