What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Bath re-enamelling in Kilton Thorpe without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Kilton Thorpe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Kilton Thorpe questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are there extra charges for Kilton Thorpe?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Kilton Thorpe is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Work for landlords and builders

- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Cast iron baths
