How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cornhill
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
