DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Reddish
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in South Reddish
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from South Reddish
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Repair or replace in South Reddish?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
