How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Kettlesing Bottom. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Questions from Kettlesing Bottom
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kettlesing Bottom. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
