Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for Milltown
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Milltown?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your S45 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
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.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
