What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Bath re-enamelling in Ballygown, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ballygown

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ballygown?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

We work UK-wide, so Ballygown is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Ballygown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
