What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bexley

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Repairing versus replacing in Bexley

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bexley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bexley?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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’s the part we put right.
