Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Barford St John
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
