Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 is the part we put right.
Bath re-enamelling in Brigham, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
