- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

About our bath re-enamelling in Compton Martin
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Compton Martin?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
