Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Bath re-enamelling in Old Dalby without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Old Dalby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Old Dalby
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Old Dalby included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
