DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Sapiston
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on

When to call us in Sapiston
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Sapiston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
