- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
What affects the price in Atlow
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Atlow. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Atlow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Bath re-enamelling in Atlow without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Atlow?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Atlow?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Atlow questions
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you cover Atlow?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Atlow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are there extra charges for Atlow?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
