Questions from Snelston Common
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Snelston Common?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
About our bath re-enamelling in Snelston Common
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlord and trade work in Snelston Common
For anyone letting property in or around Snelston Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Snelston Common use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
