About our bath re-enamelling in Candlesby
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Candlesby questions
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you come to Candlesby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Candlesby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
