Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fairlight Cove
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fairlight Cove
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Fairlight Cove
- Cast iron baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
