DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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 Maltman's Hill, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Maltman's Hill
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.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
