If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Hoo questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Are there extra charges for Hoo?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hoo use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
