Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Barley
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What affects the price in Barley
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When to call us in Barley
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, 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.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
