How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kentford

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Colour-matched on site

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kentford

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Common problems we fix in Kentford

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kentford

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kentford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
