How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Chapel Allerton. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Chapel Allerton
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
