How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Friday Street. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Friday Street
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Friday Street and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Friday Street
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
