How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Detling
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional 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.
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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
