What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ackergillshore
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us

Common questions in Ackergillshore
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Advice
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
