Repairing versus replacing in Clive
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Clive: your questions answered
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we are called out for in Clive
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
