What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Bath re-enamelling in Fole without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fole

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Fole

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fole

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
