Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brotherton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Brotherton
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
