Repair or replace: which is better?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in Little London?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Little London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP14 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
