Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath re-enamelling in Treskerby, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Treskerby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
