What affects the price in Mortimer's Cross
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
We price from pictures 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.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mortimer's Cross
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
FAQs for Mortimer's Cross
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Mortimer's Cross?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Mortimer's Cross
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
