Repairing versus replacing in Ditton
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ditton
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ditton as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Ditton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
