Hotwells questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work in Hotwells?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hotwells and the rest of Bristol. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Hotwells is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hotwells
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Hotwells
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hotwells. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace in Hotwells?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
