Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Eyke customers choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business

Bath re-enamelling in Eyke, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Eyke
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Eyke: your questions answered
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you’re in Eyke and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
