Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Durdar
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Durdar
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Common problems we fix in Durdar
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Durdar
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Landlord and trade work in Durdar
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Durdar as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Durdar
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
