Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Questions from Berechurch
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
