How we handle bath re-enamelling in Soundwell
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Soundwell. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Soundwell questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start 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.
