What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Madingley
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Madingley
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Madingley questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
