Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

About our bath re-enamelling in Ambrosden
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ambrosden. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Ambrosden
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ambrosden?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Ambrosden contact us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
How to prepare

Advice
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
