What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Low Gate. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area

- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Low Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your bath is made of matters
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 check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
