Bath re-enamelling at your home in Clayworth
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
FAQs for Clayworth
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What else we do in Clayworth
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Clayworth
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
