How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brockhill. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Where you are, by postcode

Repairing versus replacing in Brockhill
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
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, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Questions from Brockhill
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Brockhill
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
