Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 typically cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling in Theale, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Theale
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Theale: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What we are called out for in Theale
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Theale, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
