We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Arkholme
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Arkholme
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the new finish last?

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
