Questions from Sowhill
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Bath re-enamelling in Sowhill, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What else we do in Sowhill
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NP4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Sowhill?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
What we’re called out for in Sowhill
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places

- How your room will be protected
