What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Clementhorpe without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common problems we fix in Clementhorpe
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Common questions in Clementhorpe
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
