Repairing versus replacing in Windmill Hill
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Windmill Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Everything repaired in place

Bath re-enamelling in Windmill Hill without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Windmill Hill
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Windmill Hill
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
