Bath re-enamelling in Cliffe without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cliffe
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
