Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

When to call us in Chapel-le-Dale
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Prices and what affects them

- The type of damage

Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
