How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Bath re-enamelling in Holywell without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Holywell
Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Holywell
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, 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.
