About our bath re-enamelling in Belmont
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why Belmont customers choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Belmont
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Belmont. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Belmont
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you work in Belmont?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Belmont for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
