Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Questions from Burton on the Wolds
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Burton on the Wolds?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
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 removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
