Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Lucklawhill: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Lucklawhill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lucklawhill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
If you’re in Lucklawhill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

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 fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
