Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- 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.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including St Ive Cross. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
