Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ningwood. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Ningwood, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ningwood
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
