What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Knowstone. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Knowstone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX36 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Knowstone
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knowstone use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Knowstone
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
Knowstone: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Knowstone?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
