What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PR4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Cottam
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
