- 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Faverdale
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Faverdale
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
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.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Faverdale: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
