When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the whole UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Dalton-le-Dale
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
