What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, 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’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Covesea
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

- An old resurfacing that is failing

Covesea questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you work in Covesea?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Covesea from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the 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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
