What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Apsley End
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Apsley End as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Apsley End
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Apsley End use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Apsley End?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

Common questions in Apsley End
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
