How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos 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.
About our bath re-enamelling in The Heath
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from The Heath
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
