How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Bath re-enamelling in Nether Street, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Nether Street and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Nether Street

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nether Street use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Nether Street questions

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you come to Nether Street?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Nether Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Nether Street?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Nether Street?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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 removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
