Bath re-enamelling in Bulk without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Bulk: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LA1 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What we are called out for in Bulk
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairing versus replacing in Bulk
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 are paying for.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
