What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Colne get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we are called out for in Colne
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Colne
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
We work UK-wide, so Colne is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
