Repairing versus replacing in Handsacre
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath re-enamelling in Handsacre, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Handsacre and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Most clients in Handsacre get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Handsacre
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Handsacre: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Handsacre?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
