How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Killerby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
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 pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.
Killerby questions

Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Killerby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Killerby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Repair or replace in Killerby?

What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common problems we fix in Killerby
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
