How we handle bath re-enamelling in Underriver
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 check it carefully.
Common problems we fix in Underriver
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Underriver. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Underriver, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.
