Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Bath re-enamelling in Puttock's End without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Puttock's End
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Common questions in Puttock's End
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
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 are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
