Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Culworth as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Culworth?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
