DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Bath re-enamelling in Lullington without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Lullington. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Lullington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Repairing versus replacing in Lullington
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
