DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Morton-on-Swale

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Questions from Morton-on-Swale

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you come to Morton-on-Swale?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Morton-on-Swale. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
