Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cold Christmas
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG12 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we’re called out for in Cold Christmas
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
