What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bittaford. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Bittaford: your questions answered
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

Common problems we fix in Bittaford
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
