What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: 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 any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Breach Barns?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Breach Barns questions
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Breach Barns?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
