Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
About our bath re-enamelling in The Pound
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in The Pound, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from The Pound
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in The Pound?
We do. Repair technicians travel to The Pound from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
