Repairing versus replacing in Batheaston
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Batheaston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Batheaston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Questions from Batheaston
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Batheaston. Prices do not change with location.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
