Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Calton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Calton

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Calton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Calton questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Calton?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you come to Calton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Calton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
