Pockthorpe: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

- Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pockthorpe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
