Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Braithwaite get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Braithwaite. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business

Braithwaite: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Braithwaite.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Braithwaite
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Braithwaite
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Braithwaite, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
