How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ford. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Ford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath re-enamelling in Ford without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Ford questions

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
