A film industry executive contacted us about their original 1938 Art Deco bath with unique green enamel that had developed several chips. This rare color was essential to the property's period authenticity. Using our 30 years of color-matching expertise, we perfectly replicated the vintage shade and completed invisible repairs. The project cost £385, preserving a £5,000 irreplaceable fixture. Our 12-month warranty ensures lasting protection for this museum-quality restoration.
A tenant in the new Studio Way development accidentally dropped a heavy shower head, creating a deep gouge in their landlord's acrylic bath. With their deposit at risk, they needed urgent repair.

Two years after our 12-month warranty expired, it still looks brand new. This practical solution saved over £2,500 compared to replacement.
Borehamwood's expansion during the golden age of British cinema created distinctive housing with quality fixtures. Cast iron baths from this era, found throughout Elstree Hill and Deacons Hill, often show enamel crazing and deep chips.
