How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common questions in Compton Dundon

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Compton Dundon?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Repair or replace in Compton Dundon?

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 whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Compton Dundon

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Common reasons people in Compton Dundon contact us are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
