What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Calford Green
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Are there extra charges for Calford Green?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calford Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
