How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for High Halden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in High Halden
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in High Halden
If you manage property in High Halden, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common questions in High Halden
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send photos?

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
