What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Allt-yr-yn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Allt-yr-yn without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Allt-yr-yn?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
