Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Bath re-enamelling in Walworth Gate without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Walworth Gate
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Walworth Gate?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When to call us in Walworth Gate
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that is seen better days

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What affects the price in Walworth Gate
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
