Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Chardstock
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chardstock?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
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.
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
When to call us in Chardstock
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
Landlord and trade work in Chardstock
For anyone letting property in or around Chardstock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Chardstock, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
