Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cresswell, Staffordshire

- Thin, worn enamel in places
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cresswell
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Cresswell questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
