Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Hawthorn
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
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.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawthorn
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
