What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Akebar. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Akebar

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
