Common questions in Cradlewell
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What affects the price in Cradlewell
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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’s the part we put right.
When to call us in Cradlewell
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:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
