How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Pentrepoeth

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pentrepoeth, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Pentrepoeth

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Newport, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Pentrepoeth

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
