The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Upper Brailes
Upper Brailes questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Upper Brailes?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
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.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we are called out for in Upper Brailes
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
