There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath re-enamelling in Page Bank, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Questions from Page Bank
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Page Bank?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
