What affects the price in Probus
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Bath re-enamelling in Probus, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Probus?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- If travel is included in the price
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Probus: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
