Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One price list for the entire UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hersden. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Hersden: your questions answered
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

What we are called out for in Hersden
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
