How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally 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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Bath re-enamelling in Broomhouse without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broomhouse
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broomhouse as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Broomhouse
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Broomhouse
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Broomhouse: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
