Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cricket Malherbie. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cricket Malherbie
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Cricket Malherbie: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Cricket Malherbie?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cricket Malherbie for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When to call us in Cricket Malherbie
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
