DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
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.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Priory Vale, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
