Bath re-enamelling at your home in Catslip
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. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price

When to call us in Catslip
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Catslip
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
