Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Poolend. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

Poolend: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Poolend is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Poolend?

We do. We send a technician to Poolend for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
