What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Lower Upham. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Lower Upham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
