Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Garlinge Green?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Garlinge Green
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Garlinge Green.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
