What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dolau
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we are called out for in Dolau
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dolau
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Powys. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dolau for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What else we do in Dolau
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
