How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
About our bath re-enamelling in Ipstones
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack

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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Ipstones
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST10 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Ipstones is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
