What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Ugley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath re-enamelling in Ugley, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Ugley
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

Repair or replace in Ugley?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What else we do in Ugley
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
