DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Malvern Wells
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Malvern Wells?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Malvern Wells?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Malvern Wells
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
