What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath re-enamelling in South Scousburgh, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in South Scousburgh and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for South Scousburgh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
South Scousburgh: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Scousburgh?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
