Repair or replace in Checkendon?
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 entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Bath re-enamelling in Checkendon without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
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 is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Checkendon?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Checkendon. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
