Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Ratford without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What else we do in Ratford
Common questions in Ratford
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ratford
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
