What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath re-enamelling in Old Clee without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you have a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.
Most jobs around Old Clee are in family homes and bungalows. A chip, rust spot or worn surface is repaired in a single visit, with the bath back in use soon after.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. In a smaller place like Old Clee, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Old Clee
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
For older houses around Old Clee, near landmarks such as Church of the Holy Trinity and Holy Mary the Virgin, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Common questions in Old Clee
Is it worth repairing old baths in a period home in Old Clee?
Generally, yes. Older baths are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.
I let a flat near Cleethorpes station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
