Bath re-enamelling in Clappersgate without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Clappersgate questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
