Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Fulford
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Fulford. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
