How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Rickling Green. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Rickling Green, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath re-enamelling in Rickling Green without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Questions from Rickling Green

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Rickling Green. Prices do not change with location.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
