Ellingham: your questions answered
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ellingham?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Bath re-enamelling in Ellingham without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ellingham
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended

What affects the price in Ellingham
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ellingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
