We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Common questions in Handsworth
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
