How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Allwood Green
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Allwood Green
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Customers generally contact us about:

Questions from Allwood Green
Do you come to Allwood Green?
We do. Technicians travel to Allwood Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP22 postcode.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
