Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Gifford
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
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?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Gifford
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that won’t shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before you book anyone

- Who turns up on the day
