DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Bath re-enamelling in Bishop's Castle without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bishop's Castle as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Questions from Bishop's Castle
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bishop's Castle?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY9 postcode.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that is failing

- Chips and rust in more than one place

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
