Thinking about giving your bathroom a fresh new look without ripping everything out? Bath and tile resurfacing is a fast, affordable, and effective alternative to traditional renovation. Here are six of the most common questions we hear — and everything you need to know before getting started.

1. What Is Resurfacing or Re-Enamelling?

Resurfacing, also known as re-enamelling or reglazing, is the process of renewing the surface of worn-out or damaged baths, basins, shower trays, tiles, or toilets. It involves thorough cleaning, chip and crack repairs, re-grouting where necessary, chemical sterilisation, and the application of a durable, enamel-based topcoat — often available in a colour of your choice.

2. Can You Resurface Baths and Shower Trays?

Yes. Whether it’s a cast iron bath, acrylic shower tray, or porcelain sink, resurfacing is suitable for almost any type of bathroom fixture. It restores the original look and feel while extending the lifespan of your bathroom fittings — all without removing or replacing them.

3. Is Resurfacing Safe?

When carried out by professionals using commercial-grade materials, resurfacing is completely safe. The coatings we use are designed specifically for use in bathrooms and wet areas. For extra peace of mind, we also offer anti-slip treatments for bath or shower bases, improving safety without affecting the finish.

4. What About DIY Kits?

DIY resurfacing kits exist, but they’re no match for professional workmanship. Common issues include uneven finishes, poor adhesion, incorrect colour matching, and premature peeling. While DIY might seem cheaper upfront, mistakes can end up costing more in the long run.

5. How Much Does Resurfacing Cost?

Compared to replacing a bath, basin, or tiles, resurfacing is significantly more affordable. Prices vary depending on the size and condition of the item, but resurfacing typically costs just a fraction of the price of buying and installing new fixtures — especially when factoring in plumbing and disposal.

6. How Long Does Resurfacing Last?

A professionally resurfaced bath or basin can last for many years with the right care. We use industrial-grade coatings designed for durability and daily use, and our service often includes a workmanship guarantee — so you can trust that your newly restored bath will stand the test of time.
