Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
