What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Somerford Booths. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Somerford Booths
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Somerford Booths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
What affects the price in Somerford Booths
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Somerford Booths. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Somerford Booths questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What we’re called out for in Somerford Booths
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Somerford Booths contact us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
