Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Little Wratting?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What we’re called out for in Little Wratting
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Little Wratting
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
