Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Reedness
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How we price bath re-enamelling

- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Reedness
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited 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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
