Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Stanleytown, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rhondda Cynon Taff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Stanleytown

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How long will the bath be out of use?

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
