Bath Re-enamelling in Knox
Bath re-enamelling in Knox without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Knox
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Knox
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What we’re called out for in Knox
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
