Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bothenhampton. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
