Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
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.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hannington
Are there extra charges for Hannington?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you work in Hannington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hannington. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Northamptonshire.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hannington
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for these signs:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
