Repairing versus replacing in Iken
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Iken customers choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bath re-enamelling in Iken, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
When to call us in Iken
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Iken
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
