What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What affects the price in Elmstone Hardwicke
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Elmstone Hardwicke
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
Comparing quotes

- How long it needs to cure

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Elmstone Hardwicke
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
