How we handle bath re-enamelling in Caldy
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Caldy
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Caldy included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you work in Caldy?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caldy for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Caldy
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Caldy
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlord and trade work in Caldy
For anyone letting property in or around Caldy, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
