Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton Combe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

Common questions in Milton Combe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
