About our bath re-enamelling in Abthorpe
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
