- Resurfacing from £350

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath re-enamelling in West Knighton without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Knighton
If you manage property in West Knighton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
