What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Newtown
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
