Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Great Salkeld questions
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Great Salkeld?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Great Salkeld from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Salkeld as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
