Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- No need to remove anything

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we’re called out for in Forton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white

- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
