Common questions in Marston St Lawrence
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Marston St Lawrence?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
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.
