What we are called out for in Matley
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
About our bath re-enamelling in Matley
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 you know the cost before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Matley. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Matley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Matley
For anyone letting property in or around Matley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Matley questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Matley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Matley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
