What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us

Common problems we fix in Elsdon
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Elsdon questions
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What affects the price in Elsdon
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
