What else we do in Cadle
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What affects the price in Cadle
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Cadle. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Cadle
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
FAQs for Cadle
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
