Nethermill questions
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Nethermill?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DG1 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
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.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you come to Nethermill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Nethermill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Nethermill
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we are called out for in Nethermill
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Nethermill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
