You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing

What affects the price in Downholland Cross
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Downholland Cross. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Downholland Cross
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Downholland Cross?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Downholland Cross. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
