What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Emmer Green, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Emmer Green
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Emmer Green
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Emmer Green
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Emmer Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
