Pockley: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Pockley
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
