Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath re-enamelling in South Bockhampton, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What affects the price in South Bockhampton
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Repairing versus replacing in South Bockhampton
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in South Bockhampton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What a repair cannot fix

- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
