Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
About our bath re-enamelling in Foxfield
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Foxfield?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Foxfield
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Foxfield?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: 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.
