What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, 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.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Toab?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
