Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
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.

Other services in Dunbeg
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
