Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Starkholmes
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Starkholmes
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Starkholmes. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
