If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

What we’re called out for in Sheviock
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Sheviock, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. 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.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
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.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
