Questions from Hitcham
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
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 durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

Common problems we fix in Hitcham
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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 won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
