Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

You don’t 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Maresfield
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Maresfield?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TN22 postcode.
Do you come to Maresfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Maresfield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Maresfield
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Landlord and trade work in Maresfield
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Maresfield
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
