What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Bilsthorpe Moor and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath re-enamelling in Bilsthorpe Moor, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bilsthorpe Moor, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Bilsthorpe Moor questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bilsthorpe Moor?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 there are no surprises on the day.
