How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What we’re called out for in Brackley Gate
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Common questions in Brackley Gate
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Brackley Gate. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What else we do in Brackley Gate
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 frequently lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
