- Can we restore a previously resurfaced bath?
- Yes the bath can be resurfaced as many times as required, we simply strip the old coating off and recoat the bath back to brand new.
- How long does the work take?
- Between 3 and 6 hours depending on how much preparation work is needed prior to resurfacing.
- How long does a resurfaced bath last?
- We expect a resurfaced bath to last between 10-20 years before it needs resurfacing again.
- How long after resurfacing before the bath can be used?
- 48 hours for the material to fully cure and harden.
- How much does it cost?
- Prices are worked out on bath style, if it needs stripping prior to resurfacing and the distance from base, every job is different and are priced accordingly.

- We can resurface cast iron, pressed steel and acrylic/plastic baths.
- Can we resurface shower trays and sinks?
- Yes most shower trays and sinks can be restored back to brand new.
- Do I need to remove the taps etc?
- No, we mask off all fixtures and fittings.
- We only recommend you remove the fittings if you are planning to change them, it is always better to fit new fittings after the resurfacing work is completed, this reduces any chance of damaging the new coating.
- Can we repair holes and cracks in baths?
- We certainly can, once a hole is repaired it will be the strongest area of your bath.
- Can we resurface a bath that has a dripping tap?
- No! All dripping taps must have their washers changed before we come, the only other option would be to isolate the water for 48 hours.
- How do I take care of my newly resurfaced bath?
- Very easily, wash with washing up liquid only and dry any standing areas of water when not in use.
- Can I use a bath mat once it has been resurfaced?
- Certainly, we only recommend microfiber bath mats though, the rubber ones with suckers will cause premature wear on the surface.
- Do we remove silicone?
- We can remove the silicone at the customer’s request.
- However you will have to arrange to re-apply new silicone once the bath is dry in 48 hours, we can come back to do this for you at extra cost.

- Ideally yes.
- We need a clean dust free environment in which to work.

- How long have we been resurfacing?
- We resurfaced our very first bath back in 1995.

- Most stains and marks will be removed as part of the preparation process, any stubborn marks will be totally gone once resurfacing has taken place, we remove and treat any rusted areas to ensure these will never appear again.
