What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
About our bath re-enamelling in Wheelock Heath
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wheelock Heath and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Wheelock Heath questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Wheelock Heath?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we are called out for in Wheelock Heath
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
