The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Astwick
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Astwick included. There is no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
