DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
