Bath re-enamelling in Bloodden, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Bloodden, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

What we are called out for in Bloodden
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
