How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 price, not a guess.
Bath re-enamelling in Silstwn without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Silstwn?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Silstwn questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of the Vale of Glamorgan. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
