We travel to Brumstead for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brumstead
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brumstead as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Brumstead?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Brumstead

Brumstead: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Brumstead?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
