Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath re-enamelling in Upper Hopton, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Upper Hopton. The price depends on:

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Upper Hopton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
