Southill: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover Southill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Southill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Southill
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Southill. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
