What affects the price in Donhead St Mary
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Donhead St Mary: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Donhead St Mary is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Donhead St Mary. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- One visit for most repairs

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
How the visit 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’re doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
