How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
When to call us in Mystole
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
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
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Mystole
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
What affects the price in Mystole
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mystole, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
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.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Mystole questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you work in Mystole?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Mystole from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
