Bath re-enamelling in Connel without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Common questions in Connel
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
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 need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Connel?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What we are called out for in Connel
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Connel
If you manage property in Connel, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Connel

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
