How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barton-under-Needwood
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Barton-under-Needwood
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What else we do in Barton-under-Needwood
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Barton-under-Needwood?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Common reasons people in Barton-under-Needwood contact us are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
