What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lower Common, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Common, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

When to call us in Lower Common

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. 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
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
