Repairing versus replacing in Ham
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. 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.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ham
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Ham: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Ham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
