When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we’re called out for in Clivocast
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
