How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Bath re-enamelling in Chilton Polden, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Chilton Polden questions

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What do you need from me?

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Common problems we fix in Chilton Polden

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
