Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirbister
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kirbister.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. 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 jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirbister
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kirbister
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
