How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
If you are in Langore and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Langore
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common problems we fix in Langore
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
