Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Down Hatherley?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
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 normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Down Hatherley questions
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gloucestershire.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
