Repairs by material
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Sardis
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Sardis: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
