- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Victoria
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Victoria
Do you cover Victoria?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Victoria from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Victoria
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
