What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cold Brayfield. What changes the price is:

About our bath re-enamelling in Cold Brayfield

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

  • No need to remove anything

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common questions in Cold Brayfield

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
