How we handle bath re-enamelling in Friar's Wash
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Repairing versus replacing in Friar's Wash
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in Friar's Wash
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
