How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ashford Bowdler?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Ashford Bowdler contact us are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
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 is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
For a price in Ashford Bowdler, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
