What bath re-enamelling costs

- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Lawrence. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material

About our bath re-enamelling in St Lawrence

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Advice
Also in St Lawrence
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Lawrence
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

St Lawrence questions
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover St Lawrence?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to St Lawrence. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Isle of Wight.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
