We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Singlewell or Ifield and across Kent.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Questions from Singlewell or Ifield
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
