- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
