How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Parbrook. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Parbrook
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Parbrook: your questions answered
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Parbrook.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
