Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Bolehill without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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 to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Bolehill

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
