Michaelston-le-Pit questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Michaelston-le-Pit?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Michaelston-le-Pit. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Michaelston-le-Pit. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
