- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Relubbus: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders

When to call us in Relubbus
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Relubbus
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
