Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Metfield
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Questions from Metfield
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Metfield?
We do. We send a technician to Metfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Metfield
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Metfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One visit for most repairs

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
