When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Aberford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
Aberford: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Repairing versus replacing in Aberford
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we are called out for in Aberford
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
