How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sherford
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TQ7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Sherford questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you cover Sherford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sherford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sherford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
