Pig Street questions
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pig Street
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Landlord and trade work in Pig Street
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pig Street
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that will not shift

Repairing versus replacing in Pig Street
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
