- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

- Lots of chips and rust spots

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Bathley questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
