DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Get any chip repaired quickly
Repair dripping taps early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

How hard the colour is to match
The material
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

One sharp close-up of the damage
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Details of any past repairs
What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Barford St Michael questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.
