St Peter’s: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish 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.
Do you cover St Peter’s?
We do. Technicians travel to St Peter’s from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Landlord and trade work in St Peter’s
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in St Peter’s
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to St Peter’s. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in St Peter’s
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
