Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cringleford
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
