Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bygrave
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Bygrave
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bygrave: your questions answered
Do you come to Bygrave?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bygrave. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What affects the price in Bygrave
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bygrave. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bygrave as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we are called out for in Bygrave
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
