How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Minster?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Bath re-enamelling in Minster without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Minster
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Minster
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Minster, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
