How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
About our bath re-enamelling in Prickwillow
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Prickwillow and across Cambridgeshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Prickwillow use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
If you are in Prickwillow and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Prickwillow
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Questions from Prickwillow
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you work in Prickwillow?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Prickwillow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
