Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in Carr Bank
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
