Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Silverhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Bath re-enamelling in Silverhill without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Silverhill
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Silverhill
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For a price in Silverhill, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Silverhill
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Silverhill
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Landlord and trade work in Silverhill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silverhill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
