Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: 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.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Bath re-enamelling in Craster, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Craster as everywhere else we work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Craster
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Craster
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What we are called out for in Craster
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Craster. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.
