DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Merlin's Cross
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Merlin's Cross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merlin's Cross
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Merlin's Cross
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
