Bath re-enamelling in St Nicholas without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for St Nicholas. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in St Nicholas get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around St Nicholas, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What else we do in St Nicholas
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
