Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

About our bath re-enamelling in Bapchild
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bapchild questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Bapchild
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

- Let us know if it has been repaired before
