Bath re-enamelling at your home in Basted
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Basted
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Basted. The price depends on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Basted: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you come to Basted?
We do. We send a technician to Basted for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairing versus replacing in Basted
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Basted. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Basted
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
