Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairing versus replacing in Buckland Down

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
