What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Swillington Common. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When to call us in Swillington Common
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
