About our bath re-enamelling in Bulwark
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bulwark as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
