What affects the price in Washington
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Washington. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Washington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van 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 can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Washington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
