DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Questions from Woodhouses
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When to call us in Woodhouses
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodhouses use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
