DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
About our bath re-enamelling in Arabella
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

FAQs for Arabella
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Arabella?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Landlord and trade work in Arabella
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
