How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sandy Balls
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sandy Balls as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Sandy Balls
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandy Balls as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Sandy Balls and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sandy Balls
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
