About our bath re-enamelling in Crawfordjohn
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t 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 it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
