What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gunton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gunton
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
