When to call us in Wilthorpe

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wilthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairing versus replacing in Wilthorpe
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why Wilthorpe customers choose us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
