How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
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
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Newnham, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newnham?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work

Advice
FAQs for Newnham
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Newnham. Prices don’t change with location.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
