Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

The process
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 the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Van
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
When to call us in Van
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
