How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling in St John's Fen End, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in St John's Fen End and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

St John's Fen End: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in St John's Fen End?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we are called out for in St John's Fen End

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
