FAQs for Elmore
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Elmore?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repairing versus replacing in Elmore
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Elmore. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmore as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
