Bath Re-enamelling for Colkirk homes
Bath re-enamelling in Colkirk without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairing versus replacing in Colkirk
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Colkirk?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
