If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Barmpton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Barmpton
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Barmpton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
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.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
