- Chips and rust in more than one place
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Young's End
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
