Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Downton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Downton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Common questions in Downton
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Downton?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
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 will tell you.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Downton?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
