DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 frequently lifts.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Southoe
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Southoe
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we are called out for in Southoe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
