What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. For a rural home like those around Cosmeston Medieval Village, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while bath re-enamelling is one trip.

Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cosmeston Medieval Village. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day. In a village or hamlet like Cosmeston Medieval Village, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the bath re-enamelling works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Cosmeston Medieval Village

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

What your bath is made of matters

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 relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
