What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Hurst
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Hurst
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
