- Lots of chips and rust spots
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Knaith
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Knaith. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s 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 reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repairing versus replacing in Knaith
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Knaith
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Knaith.
What we are called out for in Knaith
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
