What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Sandford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
About our bath re-enamelling in Sandford
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Sandford questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you work in Sandford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sandford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
