About our bath re-enamelling in Claypole
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we’re called out for in Claypole
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works
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 most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
