How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Oulston
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Oulston?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oulston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
