- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pettistree
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Pettistree questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
When to call us in Pettistree
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pettistree
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- A fixed quote before you book
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Usually one visit, start to finish

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
