How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Foxbury

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Foxbury

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Questions from Foxbury

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens next?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Foxbury?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Foxbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
