Bath re-enamelling at your home in Puddledock
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Puddledock questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Puddledock
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Puddledock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Puddledock, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
