Cathkin questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cathkin
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Cathkin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What else we do in Cathkin
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What we’re called out for in Cathkin
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in Cathkin
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cathkin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Everything repaired in place
