What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Alverthorpe. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alverthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alverthorpe
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Alverthorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
