What affects the price in St Mary's
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common questions in St Mary's
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
