What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Thrussington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Thrussington
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thrussington
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
