Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Croft-on-Tees

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
