DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Roman Hill
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Roman Hill: your questions answered
Do you come to Roman Hill?
We do. Technicians travel to Roman Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairing versus replacing in Roman Hill
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
