Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Urafirth, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Urafirth
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Urafirth
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Urafirth
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Questions from Urafirth
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Urafirth.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
