How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Bearwood without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

FAQs for Bearwood

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your B67 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

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’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repair or replace in Bearwood?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
