Repairing versus replacing in Noctorum
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Bath re-enamelling in Noctorum without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Noctorum. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Noctorum and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When to call us in Noctorum
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions from Noctorum
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Noctorum as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
