Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts 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.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we’re called out for in Millbrook
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
