Every address in ST16 and ST18 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets such as Berry Road, Manor Grove and Wilke's Wood, and we cover them all. We also travel to Holmcroft (1 mile south-east), Tillington (1 mile south-east), Doxey (1 mile south), Great Bridgeford (1 mile north-west) and Seighford (1 mile west).

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Creswell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, 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.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
