About our bath re-enamelling in Holbrook
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Holbrook. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Common questions in Holbrook
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
