How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
About our bath re-enamelling in Althorpe
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Common questions in Althorpe
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Althorpe
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
Repair or replace in Althorpe?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
