How we handle bath re-enamelling in Austerlands
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Austerlands: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Austerlands?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
What we are called out for in Austerlands
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Austerlands. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
