How we handle bath re-enamelling in Quethiock
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Quethiock
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quethiock questions
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
