Repairing versus replacing in Cheapside
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Cheapside, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Cheapside
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Cheapside
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cheapside as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Cheapside. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cheapside
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Cheapside?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
