Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Row
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Lower Row
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Row. The price reflects:

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lower Row. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Lower Row and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
