FAQs for Old Town
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Old Town?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
About our bath re-enamelling in Old Town
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Old Town
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What affects the price in Old Town
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
