DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlord and trade work in Ropley Dean
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Ropley Dean: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you come to Ropley Dean?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ropley Dean. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Repair or replace in Ropley Dean?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ropley Dean. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
