How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Sandwith get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sandwith
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sandwith and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Sandwith
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sandwith. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sandwith?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sandwith, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
