What affects the price
— Condition of the bath. Chips, rust spots and failed previous coatings all need repair work before spraying.
— What's being resurfaced. Adding basins, shower bases or wall tiles increases the price but is cheaper per item done together.
— Bath material. Cast iron, pressed steel and acrylic baths each need slightly different prep and primers.
— Colour change. Covering a strong colour (like 1970s avocado) in white can need extra coats.
— Ventilation & access. Small windowless bathrooms need extraction equipment and slow the job down.
Tips before you post
— A resurfaced bath typically lasts 5–10 years with care — ask what warranty is included.
— Don't use the bath until the coating has fully cured, usually 24–48 hours.
— Resurfacing is usually a quarter or less of the cost of removing and replacing the bath.
