Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Starling's Green: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Starling's Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area

What we’re called out for in Starling's Green
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
