Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling in Overthorpe, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Overthorpe
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Overthorpe included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Overthorpe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Overthorpe
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
