Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

Farther Howegreen questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Farther Howegreen, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Farther Howegreen
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
