Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath re-enamelling in Mapperley, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NG3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common questions in Mapperley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in Mapperley?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
