How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Bath re-enamelling in Low Eighton without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Low Eighton
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Low Eighton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Low Eighton customers choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
When to call us in Low Eighton

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Questions from Low Eighton
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Low Eighton?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
