What affects the price in Saxtead
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Saxtead, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Saxtead, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
