DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we are called out for in Bexon
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
