Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Almshoe
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Almshoe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Little Almshoe questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.

Before we arrive

Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
