Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
About our bath re-enamelling in Milden
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Questions from Milden
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

For anyone letting property in or around Milden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Milden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Milden
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
