How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
