When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
About our bath re-enamelling in Overcombe
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Overcombe. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Overcombe, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Overcombe: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
