What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 frequently lifts.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Pengegon.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pengegon
For anyone letting property in or around Pengegon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
