Repair or replace in Edge?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Edge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling in Edge without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Edge: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
