How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Balterley Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
About our bath re-enamelling in Balterley Heath
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairing versus replacing in Balterley Heath
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Balterley Heath
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Balterley Heath and the rest of Cheshire East. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Balterley Heath
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
