How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bowthorpe
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Bowthorpe questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Bowthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bowthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
