Problem with your bath in Roughmussel? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Roughmussel
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Roughmussel as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Related advice
Common questions in Roughmussel
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Roughmussel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Landlord and trade work in Roughmussel
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roughmussel use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When to call us in Roughmussel
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
