How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pear Tree
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Pear Tree
Are there extra charges for Pear Tree?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
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.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Pear Tree
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
