Bath re-enamelling in Apperley without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your photos, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Apperley
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Apperley?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
