The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Bath re-enamelling in Fickleshole, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Fickleshole questions
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I fix it myself?
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 frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Fickleshole
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
