The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
