Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

About our bath re-enamelling in Barnfield
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Barnfield
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Barnfield and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Barnfield
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
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, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
