Repairing versus replacing in Royston
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Royston. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Royston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Royston
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
