The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Playing Place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Playing Place: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are there extra charges for Playing Place?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Playing Place
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What affects the price in Playing Place
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Playing Place. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Playing Place as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Playing Place, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
