Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
