Farndon questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you cover Farndon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Farndon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Farndon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, 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.
