Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldborough Hatch use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
