Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Common questions in Four Elms
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
