What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including New York. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath re-enamelling in New York, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Questions from New York
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens on the day

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in New York
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in New York
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in New York, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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’s the part we put right.
