About our bath re-enamelling in Exnaboe
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs

Common problems we fix in Exnaboe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price

What we can’t put right

- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
