Bath re-enamelling in Acton Gate without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that is rusted through

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
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.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace in Acton Gate?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
