What we do

A high-quality, cost-effective alternative to replacement.

From silicone sealing and mastic to household hard surface repairs and bath restoration, we bring care and precision to every finish. We repair chips and scratches, refresh worn bathroom surfaces and replace failed sealant for domestic and commercial customers.

Silicone Sealing & Mastic

Professional silicone sealing and mastic for bathrooms, kitchens and commercial spaces. Silicone removal and replacement creates clean joints around fixtures, from bath resealing and shower tray resealing to sink resealing and full fit-outs.

Household Surface Restoration

Household surface repair and snagging repairs for chips, scratches and cosmetic damage. From kitchen worktop repair to stone, laminate and UPVC surfaces, we assess the damage and offer practical hard surface restoration to help avoid replacement.

Bath Re-Enamelling & Resurfacing

Bath re-enamelling, bath resurfacing and bath refinishing for cast-iron, steel, enamel and acrylic baths. Our bath restoration work includes removing old coatings, bath colour changes and exterior refinishing.

Chip, Crack & Surface Repairs

Bath chip repair, enamel chip repair, crack repair and scratch repair for baths, sinks, basins and shower trays. Each colour-matched repair aims to blend with the surrounding surface; a completely invisible result cannot always be guaranteed.

Shower Tray & Sink Restoration

Shower tray repair and resurfacing, sink resurfacing and basin repair for damaged, worn or stained bathroom fixtures. We assess ceramic, porcelain and other surfaces to recommend a suitable repair or refinishing approach.

Non-Slip Bath Surfaces

Anti-slip bath treatment and the application, restoration or replacement of non-slip bath coatings for homes, hotels and other commercial properties.

Bespoke & Period Restoration

Roll-top bath restoration, freestanding bath restoration and specialist care for Victorian and unusual sanitaryware. Bespoke colours, exterior bath painting and cast iron bath restoration help retain the character of period fixtures.
