How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When to call us in Middleton St George
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
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.

Other services in Middleton St George
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Middleton St George
For anyone letting property in or around Middleton St George, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Middleton St George: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Middleton St George?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
