Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Musbury: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
