Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Knowl Bank: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Knowl Bank
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knowl Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Knowl Bank customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it

- One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
