Bath re-enamelling in Maidencombe without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlord and trade work in Maidencombe
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Maidencombe
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Maidencombe?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- Usually one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Maidencombe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
