How we handle bath re-enamelling in Appledore
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
