Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Harraby
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Harraby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harraby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Harraby. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
If you are in Harraby and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off 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.
What we are called out for in Harraby
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions from Harraby
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
