Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Copley without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Copley
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Copley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
