How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
About our bath re-enamelling in Kirn
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in Kirn
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What else we do in Kirn
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kirn
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
