Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Underbarrow
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift

Common questions in Underbarrow
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Underbarrow included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
