How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kew?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Kew contact us are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Kew?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
