Bath re-enamelling in Authorpe, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Authorpe
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What affects the price in Authorpe
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, 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 quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Authorpe
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Authorpe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in Authorpe
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
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
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
