Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
FAQs for Ladycross
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ladycross. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Ladycross get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
