How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Meldreth. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Bath re-enamelling in Meldreth without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What else we do in Meldreth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Meldreth
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: 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 just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Meldreth: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Meldreth?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

The process

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Repair or replace in Meldreth?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
