Bath re-enamelling in Brèibhig, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Brèibhig
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
