How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Low Nibthwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

The process

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 a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Low Nibthwaite

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Low Nibthwaite included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When to call us in Low Nibthwaite

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Common reasons people in Low Nibthwaite contact us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
