Bath re-enamelling in Auberrow, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common problems we fix in Auberrow
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace in Auberrow?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Auberrow
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
