Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Calais Street
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Calais Street?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Calais Street questions
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
