How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Acrylic baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common problems we fix in Stour Provost
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Common questions in Stour Provost
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
