Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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 the part we put right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barrow Hill
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Common problems we fix in Barrow Hill
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bath re-enamelling costs
