Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Castlehill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Castlehill. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
