DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Butcher's Cross
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Butcher's Cross. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butcher's Cross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Butcher's Cross
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

What your bath is made of matters
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 the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
