- Wear marks under the taps
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Atherington without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What else we do in Atherington
Questions from Atherington
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Atherington?
We do. We send a technician to Atherington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Atherington
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Atherington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
