How we handle bath re-enamelling in The Frenches
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in The Frenches and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in The Frenches
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from The Frenches
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
