How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Colthrop
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colthrop as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Repair or replace in Colthrop?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colthrop. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
