Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Lissenden Gardens, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath is made of matters

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 is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

Common problems we fix in Lissenden Gardens

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Questions from Lissenden Gardens

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Lissenden Gardens. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
