How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Bath re-enamelling in Rhode, done in place

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Rhode

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhode as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rhode?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
