Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Common problems we fix in Caundle Wake
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
