How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
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 will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before booking
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Hooley questions
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover Hooley?
We do. We send a technician to Hooley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
