What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in St Nicholas
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Nicholas and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for St Nicholas
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover St Nicholas?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Nicholas for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St Nicholas
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps

- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in St Nicholas
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for St Nicholas. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in St Nicholas, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
