Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cults. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cults
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
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.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cults
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Cults
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?

- One-year guarantee on every repair

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
FAQs for Cults
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cults use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
