Bath re-enamelling in Nook, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Nook
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Nook?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Nook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Nook: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
