DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Bath re-enamelling in Filching, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Filching. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
When to call us in Filching
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
