How we handle bath re-enamelling in Piddlehinton
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Piddlehinton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Piddlehinton?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
