How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
About our bath re-enamelling in Terling
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
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. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

FAQs for Terling
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
Everywhere in the UK, Terling included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
