What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Nicholas and Bonvilston
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St Nicholas and Bonvilston
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Common questions in St Nicholas and Bonvilston
Do you come to St Nicholas and Bonvilston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to St Nicholas and Bonvilston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
