Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.

When to call us in Pelistry
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Pelistry contact us are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
