We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Halfkey
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Look out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What affects the price in Halfkey
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Halfkey
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
