- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Buckerell questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Buckerell
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
