DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Selsted
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Selsted.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Selsted
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Customers generally contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Selsted, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What affects the price in Selsted
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Selsted. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
