How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Bath re-enamelling in Fair Hill, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fair Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Fair Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Fair Hill questions
Do you cover Fair Hill?
We do. Technicians travel to Fair Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
When to call us in Fair Hill
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
