Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Beck Row without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlord and trade work in Beck Row
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beck Row use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Beck Row?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP28 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
