How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Lumsdale
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Landlord and trade work in Lumsdale
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lumsdale use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we’re called out for in Lumsdale
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
