Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath re-enamelling in Berwick St John without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
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 pay close attention there.
Common problems we fix in Berwick St John
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Berwick St John questions
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Berwick St John?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Berwick St John from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Berwick St John?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Berwick St John
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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 normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
