How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Flacks Green: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Flacks Green?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When to call us in Flacks Green
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
