Sulhamstead Abbots questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Sulhamstead Abbots and the rest of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
When to call us in Sulhamstead Abbots
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
