For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
