Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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 is what we repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Baydon, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
If you’re in Baydon and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Baydon
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Baydon
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in Baydon?
We do. Technicians travel to Baydon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Baydon
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
