Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Common questions in Throston
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
When to call us in Throston
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before you book anyone

- Who will actually do the work
