The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Barby questions
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Barby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 typically cheaper.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Barby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
