If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
