Common questions in Moor End
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Moor End?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Victorian roll-tops

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
