How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 normally cheaper.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Mott's Mill

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Mott's Mill
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Mott's Mill: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
