About our bath re-enamelling in Maplescombe
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Questions from Maplescombe
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
