How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

About our bath re-enamelling in Weston

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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 work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Repair or replace in Weston?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Questions from Weston

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Weston included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we are called out for in Weston

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
