Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 generally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?

Landlord and trade work in Bonchester Bridge
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Bonchester Bridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Bonchester Bridge questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Bonchester Bridge?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bonchester Bridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
