DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for West Stockwith

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
