We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bricket Wood and across Hertfordshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
