How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Nettleden
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Nettleden?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
FAQs for Nettleden
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Nettleden?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nettleden use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
