Repairing versus replacing in Nutley
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 entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath re-enamelling in Nutley without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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 until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Nutley?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Common reasons people in Nutley contact us are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays

Nutley: your questions answered
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Nutley?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
