Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. For a rural home like those around Peatling Magna, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while bath re-enamelling is one trip.
Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Peatling Magna
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Older homes around Peatling Magna may have baths that have been in place for decades. A sound older bath is well worth repairing.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack

Materials we work on in Peatling Magna
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
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.

What we’re called out for in Peatling Magna
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
For older houses around Peatling Magna, near landmarks such as Church of All Saints, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. Somewhere as small as Peatling Magna, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the bath re-enamelling works exactly as anywhere else.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
