DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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 often lifts.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.

Greenside: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Greenside
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What else we do in Greenside
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
