Lower Writhlington: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Lower Writhlington included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Lower Writhlington
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Lower Writhlington contact us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
