What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wortley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wortley
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
