DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Low Mill: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Low Mill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Low Mill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Low Mill

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Low Mill. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
