Bath Re-enamelling in West Cliffe
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in West Cliffe and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath re-enamelling in West Cliffe, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in West Cliffe
West Cliffe questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in West Cliffe?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including West Cliffe. The price reflects:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in West Cliffe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
