What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newfound, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newfound and across Hampshire.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Newfound
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Newfound and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newfound
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
