Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath re-enamelling in Star, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Star and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we are called out for in Star
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Star: your questions answered
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Fife. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you cover Star?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Star. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Star. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Star. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
