How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Locksbottom
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
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
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Locksbottom. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Common questions in Locksbottom
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Locksbottom
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BR6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
