Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Acharacle without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Acharacle and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Acharacle
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Questions from Acharacle
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Acharacle is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
