Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
When to call us in Coxbench
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
What affects the price in Coxbench
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Coxbench
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
