Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Red Hills, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Red Hills
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays

Red Hills: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What we’re called out for in Red Hills
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Red Hills, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Red Hills as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
