Lower Bodinnar: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What we’re called out for in Lower Bodinnar
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
